NH4I will completely dissolve in ammonium and iodide ions: of which I-is neutral and NH4+ is quite a weak acid (pKa = 9.25). (The molar standard solution of NH4I will have pH approx. 4.6).
NH4- (aq) + H2O â NH3 (aq) + H3O+ (aq) weak acid + strong base, e.g., HClO + NaOH â NaClO + H2O When a weak acid reacts with a strong base the resulting solution will be basic. The salt will be hydrolyzed to form the acid, together with the formation of the hydroxide ion from the hydrolyzed water molecules. weak acid + weak base, e.g., HClO + NH 3 â NH 4 ClO The pH of the solution formed by the reaction of a weak acid with a weak base depends on the relative strengths of the reactants.
